C++ :: How To Delete A Memory Leak
Apr 9, 2014
is there a way to delete a memory leak ? like when the pointer is no longer pointing to that memory address, and that allocated memory is not accessible, how can i delete that ?
sample:
int *p = new int;
*p = 5;
//if i dont't delete p here, is that a way to deallocate the dynamically allocated variable above ?
p = new int; //since p is no longer pointing to 5, and there's no way of accessing it
*p = 10
delete p; //i know this only deallocates the memory address which holds 10, not the one before

I know memory leak checking can sometimes have false positives. I turned on memory leak checking by adding
Code:
#define _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <crtdbg.h>
Then calling
Code:
_CrtDumpMemoryLeaks();
in the App's constructor.
I traced the issue back to the constructor for a variable included in the app class. The variable is a class I declare in the project.
Code:
//Class declaration
#define NUM_MT_COLORS 16
struct clrTable {
COLORREF clrCode;
CString clrName;
[Code] ....
I get a memory leak error for every instance where a CString is set. I tried moving this to the MainFrame just to see if there was something with this being in the app, and saw the same memory leak errors.
I didn't include the functions in this class that manipulate this table. I didn't put it in the document because this is a multi-doc application and this table is universal to the program.
Is this an example of a false positive in the memory leak checker, or did I do something wrong?

I asked a few questions a few weeks ago about vectors and the fact that their data is stored on the heap. When a function closes, anything in its scope is destroyed, if it's passed by reference it won't be destroyed since it's outside the scope.
I have a program where I create a vector in one function, then pass it by reference to another. When I test for memory leaks, I get told I have 1 memory leak in in my start() function, and one memory leak in my save() function.
It's just a simple program that creates a vector, populates it with some numbers, then saves the numbers in a file. If I'm passing my vector by reference to another function, do I need to manually do something to avoid memory leaks? I'll post the code below.
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>

Code:
HRESULT CAllocMeshHierarchy::CreateMeshContainer(PCTSTR Name,
const D3DXMESHDATA* pMeshData, const D3DXMATERIAL* pMaterials,
const D3DXEFFECTINSTANCE* pEffectInstances, DWORD NumMaterials,
const DWORD *pAdjacency, ID3DXSkinInfo* pSkinInfo,
D3DXMESHCONTAINER** ppNewMeshContainer
[Code] ....
When I make a shallow copy of pMeshData to OriginalMesh (for static mesh rendering, 2 objects pointing to one COM interface), memory leaks start to occur.When I don't, everything is fine.How to solve it? I addref() to it once (with pMeshData) and ReleaseCOM it in destroyMeshContainer
Remarks **** MeshData.pMesh is 0x00000000 while OriginalMesh is a pointer of some value whose values are 0xfeeefeee

Write a C++ program that had a base class PLANT with a sub class of that of TREE. The Program works exactly to her specifications except there is a memory leak.
--Header Files --
Plant.h
Tree.h
--Resource Files--
plant.txt - For Input
tree.txt - For Input
plantReport.txt - Output of Program. No cout is really allowed by her.
--Source Files--
Plant.cpp - Code for plant.h class
Tree.cpp - Code for tree.h class
MainDriver.cpp - Contains int main()

An attempt to create a class which is basically a mimic of vector<int> i don't seem to know how to delete pointer x in a destructor to free memory, also on pushback and pushfront methods, i can't free y when i implement delete[] y; y=NULL; i get some NULL out put when cout 'ing the object in main, why is that happening and how do i free memory y.
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class vectorOfint{
int* x;
int size;
public:
vectorOfint();

look at this code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class teste
[Code]....
Each time i call "x = new teste();" the previous object is deleted? Does this code cause any sort of memory leak?

General Purpose: Delete all "white spaces" in text file, until the read-in char is _not_ a whitespace (mark as start of text file).
Problem: Cannot seem to shift char's over properly. (I think my problem is the inner loop - however other code may lead to this problem - I do not know)
Code:
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
bool trimWhiteSpace(fstream &file, char * charMemoryBlock) {
if (!file.is_open()) {

I have to manage a Clinic. I need to delete a booking (for example, if John said he's coming on March 22nd at 15:30 but then he say he's not going to come, I have to delete that booking so another person can use it).
idSearched: the id of the person that is not going to come. I have a lot of specialties and each one has a list. So I ask for the speciality to delete the node (the node contains John's booking). If I don't find it, I return (-1). searchSpecByID return a pointer to the list where the speciality is. So head will point to the first node of the list. In nodeToDelete I have the node I want to delete.
The program detects OK when is the first in the list and when not, but it doesn't delete the node.
Code:
typedef struct bookingList{
tSpecialty specialty;
struct nodo* intro;
} tList;
[Code].....

I am beginner with C++ and I want to know. When do I use new and delete keywords? And what can I use them to do? Only thing I know about the new keyword and delete is that you can do this:
Code:
int Size = 5;
int *ptr = new int(Size);
cout << *ptr << endl;
delete ptr; And more . . .
But when do you use this keywords? I am just curios about them and want to now if them can be really effective to use.

if those lines are uncommented , program gives heap error.Why?

How would I delete a row in a datagridview (and in the database) if the datagridview control does not show the primary key? ie the SELECT statement we used to load the DataGridView does not include the primary key column (since it is not relevant to the user)

I'm writing a sorted vector implementation and trying to do it as simply as possible.
Right now, I'm declaring the sorted vector with a protected subclass of vector, then using the "using" keyword to explicitly inherit all methods that aren't related to adding new elements to the vector (so I can control the order).
Eg:
Code: template<typename T, class Cmp = std::less<T>>
class sorted_vector : protected std::vector<T>{
public:
typedef typename std::vector<T>::iterator;
using std::vector<T>::operator=;
using std::vector<T>::assign;
using std::vector<T>::get_allocator;
using std::vector<T>::at;
using std::vector<T>::operator[];
//...
};
Obviously, this is annoyingly redundant. So what I'd like to do is something using the new "delete" keyword from C++11. Is there any quick, expressive way of deleting specific methods?
Also, it's pretty annoying to have to typedef base_class::type type to inherit a type from a base class. Is there a shorter way to do that?

here's the problem. I want to delete the objects within a vector, although I'm not sure whether I should clear the vector afterwards. Is it really necessary?
Code:
for (i = 0; i < allSales.size(); i++)
delete allSales[i];
allSales.clear(); //Is this step necessary?

How I can delete a parameter in a function .
int *buildTrail(int antIndex, int start, double *pheromones) {
int *trail = new int[tabu];
bool *visited = new bool[tabu];
trail[0] = start;
visited[start] = true;
[Code] ....
If I comment all lines includes visited word , no exception occurs , Otherwise , exception throws.
Simply put , How can i delete visited parameter as long as its role has been finished?

how to delete an element(s) from an array; suppose I have an array x[10] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}, and I want to delete array{5} so that the values of the array become {1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10}; how do I go about this? This is not the same as setting the value of array{5} to null; but completely eliminating it so that it does not get printed alongside the other elements of the screen.

int * ptr = new int[5];
p += 2; //p now stores address of 3rd element in array
delete [] p;
what will be deleted??? all 5 elements or just 3rd, 4th and 5th elements of array(in result making a memory leak)

I'm experimenting with a custom memory-pool for my application, and I initially planned to override the global new and delete operators to allocate memory in this pool. But since I'm using QT, this will apply to all the QT-related stuff as well. Should I instead just override the new and delete operators per class?

I have something like this:
class A {
};
class B : public A {
};
class C : public A {
};
B*b1;
B*b2;
C*c1;
C*c2;
vector<A*>vec;
int main() {
vec.push_back(b1);
vec.push_back(b2);
[Code] ....
And it don't works at all. all i get (when playing with variations of this stuff until it compiles correctlly) is a memory leak.
For example, let say i have b1 address = 1234
I will effectively free the memory at 1234, but for a strange reason, the memory leak is elsewhere, for example, at 2345, and the memory value at this address is equal to... 1234, the address of the pointer i wanted to delete.

making my delete function work. My program does compile but my delete function doesn't work. I haven't finished my last two functions because I am focusing on the delete but how to Sell a title and print the value of all sold titles would be nice as well.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>

"Type a function that take in a string containing numbers and others characters and print on stdout all the numbers contained into the string, where for number is mean every maximal numerical sequence, of numbers not separed by spaces. Numbers printed on exit must be separated by commas. For example, if i put in the function the string "paje27hg78 2k f562" my function must print:
27, 78, 2, 562 "
So i started my code like so: (I WANT TO NOTICE THAT WE HAVE ONLY USED IOSTREAM AND FSTREAM LIBRARY FOR NOW, SO DON'T USE OTHERS LIBRARY ELSE MY TEACHER WON'T CORRECT MY HOMEWORK!)
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
